If you don&#39;t believe, just ask his kids. A brilliant artist with so much soul can&#39;t be all bad? Was he the greatest tenor of all time? YES!!!</p>Jon Foley commented on 'Stan Getz on Clef and Norgran'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00e008dca1f08834014e5f622879970c2011-02-22T07:23:30Z2011-02-22T07:23:30ZJon FoleyActually, that was the renowned wit Zoot Sims who came up with that line.

&quot;&#39;I know and outstanding exception, though,&#39; I said, and Emily said, &#39;If you mean...&#39; and she named a man the beauty of whose playing and the perversity of whose personality have always presented an irresoluble contradiction to other musicians. We both laughed hugely.&quot;</p>Jery Rowan commented on 'Stan Getz on Clef and Norgran'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00e008dca1f08834014e86397f85970d2011-02-21T18:40:20Z2011-02-21T18:40:20ZJery RowanIt’s absolutely amazing!

<p>How a guy as messed up as Stan was, could swing so hard, play so lyrically, and function as a leader, is mind boggling to those who knew him.</p>
<p>In the early ‘50s, while appearing at Seattle’s Olympic Hotel, he crossed the street between sets and held up a pharmacy for drugs. Connecting the dots between such a desperate individual and the creative artist behind so many incredible recordings is incongruous at best. </p>
<p>Loved ya, Stan, but hardly got to know you. <br />

Others may disagree, but to me, he swings like crazy, his technique is unbelieveable, his sound is beyond reproach, and his sensitive ballads are simply in a class by themselves.<br />
Getz once said he never played a note he didn&#39;t mean. His mastery of the tenor sax cannot be equaled.<br />
This set is a must-buy!<br />
